National DeLurking 2010!

Dammit!

Apparently, last Thursday was ‘National Delurker Day‘. [As clearly stated via the date - on the logo below.]

delurking

And, sadly. I missed it.

But, since I’ve never been ‘On Time’ for anything in my life, why should this event be any different.

Right?

What does Delurking  mean? It means that I am inviting everyone – to open up on the comments of this blog post and let me know you’re out there! [Whether you comment regularly - or whether you have never left a comment!]

Delurking was designed to draw out the people who haven’t commented.  Over the last four years, I have always enjoyed delurking because I usually *meet* new bloggers and/or new readers that I wouldn’t have otherwise discovered. Sometimes, a comment from a long time reader or a newly discovered lurker literally makes my day. And not just for obvious reasons. For me personally, getting a comment is more along the lines of validation that I wrote something other people deemed worth reading. I absolutely LOVE it when a fellow blogger, or reader, can identify or connect with my words. That gives me a feeling I don’t even know how to describe.

Anyway, I am curious to find out what the outcome would be, if I asked all of you to post WHATEVER YOU WANTED in these comments.

What say you?

C’mon Make My Day!

  • hey you!!!
  • It has been forever since I visited you and I am sorry, I selfishly got caught up in building my new blog that some of my friends got- dear I say -ignored. :(

    Thank you so much for stopping by my new home and leaving such wonderful comment! Hey I love the new look around here, very lovely indeed! So swanky with the comment form and all the sidebar gadgets. Look at chu gurrrrl! :)

    Speaking of lurkers I need to go visit Dan! :)
  • Hey, we all get caught up in our own lives and BS sometimes, Im just glad
    we've reconnected too! xoxoxo
  • I know you know who I am, but I don't comment that often. Plus, I read everything in my reader and that means that sometimes I end up being a few days behind and I feel guilty commenting so long after the fact. I'm making applesauce oatmeal cookies at the moment. They are a little meh in flavour so I'm trying to make a drizzle/glaze to help them.
  • applesauce oatmeal cookies? YUM!
  • {{{Oh hey NOW I can comment! Woo-hooooo! }}}

    I'm no lurker, but it's been aWHILE since I commented....so thought I'd better expose myself (here) on your blog again. ~XOXOXOXOXO!!!!
  • YIPPPPEEEEE! xoxoxoxo

    Hello,
    I know exactly what you mean, only recently I've been getting a few more comments on my blog and it's actually really nice to know someone cares about what you're writing as much as u do. It may be cos I'm commenting on other peoples blogs more but hey what goes around comes around, all is good!

    nice site :)
  • Thank you, and nice to *meet* you! Unfortunately, I dont see a link to your blog for me to return the favor?
  • kathycakebread

  • Why yes, I would love to visit your blog. Thanks for the link!
  • Steph
    Well, I far from lurk, but I have a sneaking suspicion you have many, many lurkers who admire your writing, Mereb.
  • Thank you love! xoxo

    De-lurking? Isn't that like electronic stalking? I'd do more de-lurking but the restraining order limits me to stay 100 feet away at all times.

    Seriously. Love your blog. You're in my fav 5. It's part of my daily routine:
    1. Get up
    2. Start the coffee
    3. Walk the dog
    4. Take a poop (the dog)
    5. Read Momma Mia

    You are like the sister I never had. The crazy sister, but we still love ya.
  • Aw! That made my DAY to hear! Thank you soooo much! :)
  • Still Lurking
    Hi Meleah. Nice try. Thanx for another year of your wonderful blog. Talk to you again next January, probably :)
  • Dammit!
  • You always have been one of my all time favourite bloggers. Glad to see so many people delurking. That is awesome!
  • You know how much I love and respect you and you know how much I love reading YOUR blog too. You're the best! xoxo <3
  • Well, I'm not a lurker but I just wanted to say hi anyway. I wondered if these requests to de-lurk ever worked but it sure seems like it did in your case as I peeked through some of the comments already. So definitely better late than never, right? :) Happy late delurking day and hello to all people who delurked!
  • I usually find / meet new people during delurking! I love it! And, *HI* Teeni!
  • I don't comment enough, but I'm always trying to keep up with you.
  • Your comments are ALWAYS welcome.
  • Yo! Here I am~
  • DIVA!!! OMFG!! Girl!!!!!!!!!!
    *races over to your blog*
  • nickphillips
    *makes grand entrance with loud orchestral music in background*

    Ta-da! The De-lurker is her!

    *Exits stage left with security on my tail*

    LOL!
  • Whooo Hooo!
  • What a top idea! Well, here goes! Now, where do I begin? I'm married to a wonderful women and we have three adult sons. We have just become grandparents for the first time and a wedding is just around the corner for one of our children. My wife and I are both nurses with only one us taking up the blogging disease, yes, that's me! Well, that's enough delurking for one day! Bye and take Care - Peter from Down Under
  • Nice to meet you Peter. And, thanks for sharing!
  • BK
    I share similar thought. It is a great feeling to know, through the comment, that someone can connect to what we share; it is like a connection to another's soul.
  • Exactly!
  • cmk
    You know me, I'm NOT a lurker. However, I HAVE been MIA lately due to the new 'puters. Slow but sure, things are coming together. BUT, there seems to be a problem with the motherboard on the desktop, so that has to be replaced. I'm hoping it won't mess up everything I've done to this point. I'll be happy when I can get back to surfing the Gore and not have to worry about migrating any files. I WILL be back, better than ever, by the year 2015! :D
  • Damn Christine! What is the deal with your new computers giving you such a hard time! I miss you already!
    xoxoxooxox
  • I'm delighted I found you on ranting redhead's blog! This is too cool! Nice to meet you!
  • Hi! *waves*
    Hm.. I do'nt see a link to your blog so that I may visit and return the favor?
  • AngryMan
    I just saw in your Flickr feed you getting kissed by another chick. In case Mooog hasn't suggested it -- we should see more of that. I'm just looking out for my buddy there.
  • WHAT? Um....what photo is that?
  • AngryMan
    I can't remember who it was -- I think ya'll were waiting to eat or something. Oh, and I didn't mean "eat" in that way . . .
  • Hmmm. NOw Im going to search through the THOUSANDS of pictures I have on Flickr!
  • AngryMan
    Excellent. Let me know if you find others.
  • Ill do my best!
  • AngryMan
    Have you found any other pics of you kissing other girls or getting kissed by other girls?
  • No. I still have NO IDEA what photo you are talking about!
  • What I'm going to comment on here is that how sometimes I hate the internet and computers, ultimately I like it because it's made a the world and easier place to meet people and share thoughts and ideas. I enjoy your blog, Meleah because you're so open and honest about your life. So there!
  • Aw. Marty! You rule.
  • I gave up on lurking a long time ago, ever since I lost the Where's Waldo gig to a skinny nor short nor tall bespectacled guy. Anyway, kudos on keeping a very smart blog going on Meleah.
  • ahhahahhahaaha
    :)
  • Jay
    I did a post on this last year but I think one, maybe two people delurked, so I didn't bother this time. You may be luckier though! I hope you get lots of new commenters!
  • Hi Jay! :)
  • silverneurotic
    You already know this, but I love your blog. I always smile whenever I see a new post by you sitting in my Google Reader.
  • I love you back
  • michellegartner
    Hmm How did I miss de-lurking day... I wonder if I should go out myself on some blogs I luck at. NAH. It's kind of fun to lurk. :o)
  • xoxoxo
  • I'm not a lurker but I am relatively new here, though I feel as if you are my long lost sister or something. Don't feel bad I completely missed De-Lurking day on my blog.
  • It's very NICE to *meet* you too as I am new to reading your blog as well. And I think even if you missed it [like I did] you can still can participate!
  • Ron

  • Hi lady. Always glad to leave a comment here.
  • Thank you!
  • I must admit I've lurked your blog on and off for about a year. I've identified with so many things you've gone through, and that is why I've come out of the bushes. :D

    I'm glad I did! Yer awesome!!!
  • Now see, that is exactly the kind of comment that makes my day!
    I'm really glad you decided to come on out! I've already added you to my blogroll!
  • My name is Jaffer - I ♥ your blog. Though I can't find myself commenting on every post.

    I ain't gonna flash. Too early in the morning - might ruin someone's day.
  • Jaffer, when are YOU coming back to blogging? I miss your posts!
  • moooooog35
    I'm not a lurker, but I play one on tv.

    Actually, I am a lurker.

  • You did GREAT! And you know I love ya!
  • Here I am! In all my glory! Delightfully de-lurking my dear!
